If I cannot snap myself out of my current mood, this is not going to be a good day. It's not like me to feeling this discouraged this early in the day. I decided I would steal a few minutes here to get my griping off my chest, and then hopefully I can move on with a refreshed attitude.
*The kids got up way too early...so I got no schoolwork done. I count on the early morning for this. And I am already soooo far behind this quarter! This week began Annie's 3rd quarter, and I still have nothing tangible ready for several subjects. This is truly the most out of control I've felt with our homeschooling adventure to date.
*Gray threw a tremendously whiney fit at the breakfast table. Why? Because Max chose the same cereal as he did. Gray is beyond fed up with Max doing absolutely everything that he does. And just try convincing a 6-year-old that he should be flattered by this.
*I didn't get any laundry done yesterday...so I have 5 loads to do today.
*My inability to say "No" has led me to more responsibilities I just don't need right now. My neighbor called and asked if her son could start coming to our house after school on Wednesdays and Thursdays. She didn't say what happened with the day care place where her son had been going. Of course, I said "yes", even though it's going to make my life much more complicated. Really, really, really not happy about this. But I keep telling myself that it will be good for Gray. He's going to love having a non-sibling playmate two afternoons a week. And I'm glad I can be a good neighbor...even though I often feel taken advantage of. I suppose if it really doesn't work out, I can just tell her so...after all, it's not like I'm getting paid or anything.
O.K.--enough bitching for one day! Time to head off with a positive new attitude! (Not really sure this is working...)

yuck. i hate waking up feeling unsettled. i hope you're able to shake your rough start & get on to having a better day.
ooof, starting the day off feeling out of sorts really bites - hope things have settled down and your day is running smoothly. you've got a lot on your plate and it won't hurt to push something off to the side for a bit, you know? take it easy on you...
not sure if you check back on blog posts after you leave a comment to see if there was a reply... and i can't reply to you directly by email so... i just thought i would let you know that i replied to your comment on my blog. LOL! i am such a dork. =P
I hope your day was able to turn around for you. It's not a fun way to start. One thing I have learned to do better (better than I used to anyway) is to say NO. Sometimes it comes out so easily :)
take care,
Dawn
Oh no, I'm really late getting by to visit, so this is probably too late, but I hope your day got better! Hope today is a wonderful day :)
